In the heart of Taklamakan, an immense cemetery exists in a legendary location. A great mound covered with pillars, this burial ground, contains more than three hundred graves, none of which have ever been scientifically examined. Despite the extreme climactic conditions, a Sino-Japanese team succeeds in cutting through the mystery of 'the devil's city" and discovers that the dead had come from far away to die in what was a veritable Garden of Eden. Sometimes we have to go a long way to solve the mystery of certain civilisations.
